Answer:
64 in² (Answer B)
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that this rhombus is made up of a large upper triangle and a large lower triangle. Each of these two triangles has base 2(8 in) (or 16 in) and height 4 in.
The area-of-a-triangle formula is
A = (1/2)(base)(height), which here is
A = (1/2)(16 in)(4 in) = 32 in².
Now double that, because we have an upper triangle of area 32 in² and a lower triangle of the same area 32 in². So the total area of the rhombus is 64 in²
It takes 4.3 seconds for the rocket to return to earth.
The equation is:

where -9.8m/sec² is the acceleration due to gravity, v₀ is the initial velocity, and h₀ is the initial height. We will go from the assumption that the rocket is launched from the ground, so h₀=0, and we are told that the initial velocity, v₀, is 42. This gives us:

We will use the quadratic formula to solve this. The quadratic formula is:

Plugging in our information we have:

x=0 is when the rocket is launched; x=4.3 is when the rocket lands.
